FORT LARAMIE NOTES.
How T~hanksgiv ng Wa Celebrated at
the Northern Post.


Special Correspondence of THE LEADER
Fort LARAMIE, Nov. 25.-The Proc
lamation Hop by the band Thursday
evening, Nov. "a, was a financial and social
success. To the boys who were acquainted
it was most enjoyable, but to the many
who were not acquainted the ball had all
the disagreeable features characteristic of
such occasions aud conditions.
We fully realize hat a dance critic Is
looked upon as ''one of the boys who got
left. Nevertheless, we do not hesitate
to say that managers and others directly
responsible for general enjoyment at a
dance where ladies are greatly in the
minority should interest themselves in the
pleasures of others, and that, too, before
their W individual programme is COM
plete for the whole dance.
A hunting party of non-commissioned
officers left the fort about ten days ago.
Arriving at SQuaw mountain, they sailed
forth to shoot a wagon load OF antelope,
but the antelopes were too wary to be
inveigled within guushot. The hunters
then assembled the snowy height of Lar
annie peak, but only the footprints of a
grizzly were seen, where he had assembled
an inaccessible rocky height to avoid the
demon of death that lurked in the minnie
balls. At Box Elder they shot W ante
lope, and on the night of the 22nd their
harness and overshoes were stolen.
Sergt. Wilson went to their relief and
brought them back in time to relish a
Thanksgiving dinner and offer up CRATE
full acknowledgement that their tent had
been spared.
The Minstrels, a home organization
gave an excellent. jolly and appreciated
entertainment at post hall evening of the
22nd inst.
A signal service inspector was here last
week inspecting the office at this post.
Mr.. Polls departed for the territorial
capital on the morning of the 23rd inst.
to lay in a winters supply of dry goods
and groceries.
The Thanksgiving was observed in the
post by suspendiug military duties. Fam
lies and companies gave big dinners and
everybody seemed happy.
August Kucer, of Lusk, has arranged
to do tailor work for company D.
Deputy Vaughn after transferring
young McGinnis to proper county officers
returned from Cheyenne 22d inst.
The signal service operator made a trip
to Fort Robinson, Neb., last week.
Lieut.. Col. Colling has been placed on
tie retired list, and will return to his
home in Massachusetts,.
Mike Driscoll, manager of the London
ranch, will probably accept a position at
Fort Reno, |. L.
For several days dense vapory looking
clouds have hung low over the earth, and
last night snow commenced falling and
has continued all day. At the present
time about three inches of snow has fall
len, and prospects are favorable for a
heavy snow.

BACK FROM THE NORTH.
The Fertile johnson County to Have a
Railroad.

II. 3. Rice and brother, Richard War.
ing and another gentleman who accompan-
led the party. have returned from a trip
to Buffalo, the busting metropolis of the
northwest and the famous Big Horn ba-
sin. Mr. Rice is unstlnted in his praises
of the fertile appearanceNf the country,
the enterprise of the settlers and the
natural advantages of the region. The
citizens of Buffalo, surrounded by a rich
agricultural region, are growing wealthy.
The city has all modern improvements,
a costly electric light plant being among
the towns latest valuable acquisitions. 1t
is the general impression in that section
that the cattle interest will soon give way
to the farming industry, the country
being better suited to a successful prosec-
ution of the latter business. That the
region is adapted to agricultural pursuits
was positively evidenced by the wonder
full display of products made at the re-
cent johnson fair and mentioned before
in these columns.
The Butialoites are just now ~cOngratu-
lating themselves upon the prospects OF
the advent of the Cheyenne & Northern
railway next summer. They are also
confident that the Cheyenne & Burlington
is casting covetous eyes towards the rich
valleys and rapidly settling towns.
Mr.. Rice seriously contemplates return
ing to johnson county and settling in the
Big Horn basin. Without fatterY he is
just such a man as will materially assist in
the upbuilding of a community.
